I have been in this league for just a short amount of time, but it has already had a really great impact on me and has already found a place with my life. So far, my favorite part of being in this league is the friendships that I have built in both my team’s locker room and among other players of the community in general. In my pre draft process, every single person I asked about the league spoke so highly about it and were willing to help with whatever I needed. Whether it was me asking Jango 90 different questions about each update page or player creation or asking CC where I was going to be drafted and how everything worked and just bugging everyone. Not one person ever turned their back on me and let me fend for myself. Everyone was welcoming and helpful and made me feel at home in the community. Once I got drafted to the Minnesota Grey Ducks, my experience in that locker room and the league overall exceeded my expectations more than ever. The people in the locker room made every day a lot more fun and bright than it normally would be. Everyone got along great and they accepted me like I had been there for the past 5 seasons. Once the season got started, every single Tuesday and Wednesday night I was looking forward to the 8 o’clock games like I was going to watch an actual football game. Except with this, I could see my effort and work on the forums pay off on my player. Some of the best moments of this league are on gameday. Even early in the morning there would always be QUACKs in the chat ready for the night. As we approached gameday, almost every active player in the locker room would pop in to watch the games and shout and type in discord about it. Even if we lost it was still an absolute blast. Overall, even though it has been just a short amount of time in the ISFL, it has already made my days a lot more fun than they were before and I now have friendships that I would not have found otherwise. I really hope to continue this journey and be around for the next 25 seasons. Maybe I could even get a hall of fame player or two who knows? If the first year was this good, I cannot wait to see what is on the horizon for the ISFL.
